While we anticipate that concentrating our players into fewer playlists will have an effect on match times, it will not solve all Matchmaking issues. We are currently investigating CUs and server side tweaks over the next week to address matchmaking issues. To read more, see our latest update here: Additionally, we have a Content Update going live tomorrow that will address fixes for scoring and stats. This update does not include in-progress Matchmaking fixes, outside of a minor fix for team skill matching. The patch notes from this update will be posted tomorrow morning when the update goes live.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.halowaypoint.com\/en-us\/forums\/85d779d52cfd46918b4f8b638f2e3c7b\/topics\/11-13-update\/10e177f9-50ce-4c73-95bf-bbadd2cc6fe7\/posts\"><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\nLastly, back-end data is showing that the majority of successful Matchmaking matches are found within 2-4 minutes of searching. When searching, if you do not find a match within 5 minutes, please return to lobby and restart the search, as this will reset the search parameters and increase the likelihood of finding a match within the aforementioned range.\u00a0Thank you for your continued patience. We will continue to post regular updates as we work to deliver fixes.&#8211;11.13.14 9:30 AM UpdateWe are aware that last night&#8217;s server side update has improved Matchmaking times for some users, while others are still seeing longer than expected times.

I haven&#8217;t gotten a match in yet. I tried last night, but after about 10 minutes gave up.
